The Principal Preparation and Certification Program (PPCP) provides an alternative to the traditional certification path for ESC Region 12 customers. Candidates are prepared to be campus-level administrators by participating in classroom presentations conducted by local experts in various areas of education, working with a veteran mentor, and by being exposed to a wide variety of field-based experiences in campus administration.

“The ESC Region 12 principal program was a great experience for me. I liked the face-to-face instruction. I think the dialogue you have with instructors is huge in preparing you to become a school administrator.”

Kevin Johnson, principal in Lorena ISD
